Auvigue

Auvigue is a french producer located in the south of the Burgundy region, run by two brothers Jean-Pierre and Michel Auvigue. Wines come from a family estate of around 6 hectares, there are an additional 20 hectares of contract grapes, which are vinified in their cellars.

Most of the family estate is located in the hillside village of Solutré-Pouilly within sight of the extraordinary "Rock of Solutré", a celebrated landmark which is visible for miles. Only white wines from the Chardonnay grape are produced at the estate.

The winery prides itself in employing traditional methods in the vineyards, respecting nature. They use no chemical fertilisers, only organic. They plough to make the roots plunge into the rocky soils, allowing the vine to load itself with mineral elements. With careful observation of the vine's health, they are able to reduce human intervention to a minimum level, and let nature do the rest, allowing the soil to express itself differently in each "climat".

Manual harvest takes place at optimum ripeness. The true definition of "optimum" varies according to each type of wine they want to produce. The cellars are well equipped, and they work with gravity during the whole winemaking process, to avoid tiring and de-oxygenising the wine as a result of pumping. Oak barrels are only used to compliment the cuvee, the main proportion of the wine being fermented on stainless-steel vats. The most authentic and truthful expression of each vineyards characteristics is thus obtained.
